Cat Nip/Tuck (and Dogs too!)
In celebration of “Be Kind to Animals Week,” May 4-10, 2008, Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) will launch its new “Cat Nip/Tuck (and Dogs too!)” low-cost spay/neuter program on Thursday, May 8, 2008 at MADACC’s facility, 3839 W. Burnham St. in West Milwaukee.
The program, a partnership with Dane County Humane Society’s Shelter Outreach Services, is a campaign to assist individuals in getting their animals spayed or neutered to control the overpopulation of dogs and cats in Milwaukee County.
The goal of the “Cat Nip/Tuck (and Dogs too!)” program is to encourage citizens to help solve the country's severe pet overpopulation problem by having at least one cat or dog spayed or neutered. Currently, U.S. shelter workers are forced to euthanize an estimated five million homeless cats and dogs each year——that's one every 6 and one half seconds.
Dogs and cats participating in the program must be 12 weeks old and weigh at least 2 pounds. All surgeries include rabies and distemper vaccines. All fees must be paid upfront and check-in form and surgery consent form completed at MADACC before the surgery date. Clients will be registered on a first come, first serve basis. Dogs must be on a leash and cats in a carrier (one cat to a carrier except for litters of kittens).
The “Cat Nip/Tuck (and Dogs too!)” program also aims to educate the public of the many benefits of spaying or neutering your pet: -helps prevent your pet from spraying and marking -keeps your pet healthy and prevents many diseases -helps keep your pet closer to home -ensures no more unwanted animals are born -helps prevent behavior problems -helps to prevent animal bites and aggression For more information, please call MADACC at (414) 649-8640 or visit www.madacc.com.
